Hello
I've just lost a whole massive message so i'll try and keep this brief (read the other posts for detailed info).
I've finally had a chance to get to my ReadyNAS Duo V1 & Mac.
I connected the two directly via ethernet and got them talking.
I upgraded RAIDar and noticed that the remaining drive (HDD Drive 2) held 733GB out of 900+GB, I've double checked the capacity of my external back up drive and that has 780+GB of data on it, so it would appear that all my data was backed up to the external drive.
Ok so now can I insert my new (replacement) HDD 1 (2TB) whilst the duo is running?
Is that all that is necessary? I imagine it will take some time to transfer the data from HDD 2 to HDD 1?
Thanks
Kieran
